Help the poor (chorus: help the poor) 
Won't you help poor me (chorus: help poor me) 
I need help from you baby 
Need it desperately (chorus: I need help) 
I need you so much 
I need you're care 
I need all the loving baby you can spare 
Help the poor 
Oh, baby help poor me (chorus: sha-lala-lala-la) 
Say you will 
Say you'll help me on 
I can't make it no further 
In this world alone 
Baby I'm beggin' with tears in my eyes 
For your loving, don't you realize 
I need help, oh baby 
Help poor me 
You are my inspiration (chorus: sha-lala-lala-la) 
You could make me be a king 
But if you don't come to my rescue (chorus: sha-lala-lala-la) 
I couldn't ever be anything 
Help the poor (chorus: help the poor) 
Baby help poor me (chorus: help poor me) 
Have a heart won't you baby 
Listening to my plea (chorus: I need help) 
I fell off the curb till I found you 
You got what it takes baby, to pull through 
Help the poor 
Oh, baby won't you help poor me (chorus: sha-lala-lala-la) 
I'm in trouble don't you see (chorus: sha-lala-lala-la) 
Only your love can save me (chorus: sha-lala-lala-la) 
Help the poor, help the poor (chorus: sha-lala-lala-la)
